Crypto predictions for 2023
Last Updated on 6 November 2023 by CryptoTips.eu
It’s the end of the year and newscasts everywhere are showing a 2022 overview. At the same time, there is also some forecasting to be done for 2023. While people are eagerly awaiting the FTX lawsuit in the US, expect further adoption for Bitcoin and Ethereum as CBDCs seem to be on the rise.
Bitcoin and Ethereum adoption continues
Although much depends on a possible rebound of equity markets, a further decline of global inflation rates and, lastly, a pause in the war between Russia and Ukraine, most analysts are convinced that further adoption of both Bitcoin and Ethereum by major institutional investors in 2023 will happen.
These two are still seen as the quality coins of the whole crypto industry (the 2022 Ethereum Merge is invariably mentioned as a positive signal) and so the outlook is still quite positive. Although opinions are divided as to how long the crypto winter will exactly last, it is agreed that younger investors especially are convinced of the usefulness of digital currencies, now that knowledge about inflation and money printing is growing.
More FTX drama
So Caroline Ellison, the former CEO of Alameda simply betrayed Sam Bankman-Fried (which we had long predicted) while the latter had to put up a $250 million bail bond to be able to wait for his trial at his parents’ house.
Caroline Ellison, the former chief exectuive of Sam Bankman-Fried’s crypto-trading firm Alameda Research, apologized in court this week as she pleaded guilty to fraud and other offenses. “I knew that it was wrong,” the 28-year-old said. https://t.co/pBMQs1cH1P

Americans will love the FTX court drama in 2023, especially since so many celebrities are involved. You can also expect a lot of news about this in the crypto industry next year, although it would have been better if we just knew already how long SBF should be in prison.
CBDC everywhere
China was the first major power to launch a CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency), but the West’s rejection of the 2022 Beijing’s winter games meant that the launch of the E-Yuan was not exactly smooth sailing. We haven’t heard much about it since then.
CBDCs will be used to abolish cash. People will then quickly learn the importance of independent money. Bitcoin adoption will skyrocket.

Meanwhile, some 80% of all major central banks in the world are developing their own digital currency. The Bank of Japan is planning their rollout of the digital Yen in early 2023 and Turkey says it will do the same. The European Central Bank is slightly behind, but will certainly develop the legal framework to launch a digital Euro in the future. So you will hear a lot about CBDCs next year.
NFT and Metaverse
Furthermore, many hope for a revival of the NFT market in 2023 (Saturday Night Live introduced the Trump NFT collection to the general public last week) and Mark Zuckerberg of Meta (formerly Facebook) also still thinks that Metaverses are the future. There is certainly no lack of publicity for Metaverses, now just the development.
